  • "TPC has really helped me with both the high school entrance exam and the ISEE. I scored a perfect score on the CPS exam and was offered to Walter Payton College Prep as well as Lincoln Park IB/ double honors. They did a great job of covering all topics on the exam. Thank you so much — I highly recommend this program."
